SULLIVAN AND HIS sLUGGERs.
A fair sized audience witnessed the exhibition
given by John L. Sullivan and his aggregation
of sluggers at the Opera-house last night Some
fear had been expressed that the police would
interfere as they did in Cincinnati St. Louis and
elsewhere. which doubtless had much to do with
keeping many away who would have attended
otherwise. No interference was had, however
the contests proving to be the simplest kind Of
friendly" bouts between the principals
The first exhibition was between Bob
Turnbull. of New York, and Jimmie Carroll
between
the champion. John L., and Joe Lennon the
third between Turnbull and George La Blanche.
the celebrated Marine, fourth between Steve
Taylor and Lennon, fifth between the Marine
and Carroll and the wind-up between Sullivan
| and Taylor. BY all means the most interesting
| bout was that between the Marine and Carroll,
which was under the old London prize

| was knocked down four times, and the Marine
twice. The greatest interest centered in the final
| contest between Sullivan and Taylor. The cham
pion is all out of condition, is fat ard beefy, and

sad inroads on her form, and she had become
